Truth, Trust, Love & Character! Poem by Tom Zart

What makes a winner in a life of endeavors
Is it wealth, education, good looks or fame?
Heaven's scale of success measures our resolve
By faith, love, trust, goodness and shame.

Fame is what we steal or take
Character is what we give.
To this truth we must awake
So we might begin to live.

There is some good in all of us
Which may not show at first.
With good character of heart and soul
We prepare ourselves for the worst.

Show me a liar and you have found a thief
Whose character is controlled by hell.
They love what's wrong and hate what's right
And they're lucky they're not all in jail.

Gather your pleasures while you may
While the days you have left last.
Try to become more than you are
Before you're part of the past.
